On the Stereochemistry of the Cations in the Doping Block of Superconducting Copper-Oxides
Metal-oxygen complexes containing Cu,- Tl-, Hg-, Bi- and Pb-cations are
electronically active in superconducting copper-oxides by stabilizing single
phases with enhanced , whereas other metal-oxygen complexes deteriorate
copper-oxide superconductivity. Cu, Tl, Hg, Bi, Pb in their actual oxidation
states are closed shell or inert pair ions. Their electronic
configurations have a strong tendency to polarize the oxygen environment. The
closed shell ions with low lying
excitations form linear complexes through hybridization polarizing
the apical oxygens. Comparatively low excitation energies
distinguish from other closed shell
ions deteriorating copper-oxide superconductivity, {\it e.g.} .Comment: 5 pages, uses REVTEX. To be published in: J. Superconductivity, Proc.

Electric-field-induced alignment of electrically neutral disk-like particles: modelling and calculation
This work reveals a torque from electric field to electrically neutral flakes that are suspended in a higher electrical conductive matrix. The torque tends to rotate the particles toward an orientation with its long axis parallel to the electric current flow. The alignment enables the anisotropic properties of tiny particles to integrate together and generate desirable macroscale anisotropic properties. The torque was obtained from thermodynamic calculation of electric current free energy at various microstructure configurations. It is significant even when the electrical potential gradient becomes as low as 100 v/m. The changes of electrical, electroplastic and thermal properties during particles alignment were discussed
The Structure of Operators in Effective Particle-Conserving Models
For many-particle systems defined on lattices we investigate the global
structure of effective Hamiltonians and observables obtained by means of a
suitable basis transformation. We study transformations which lead to effective
Hamiltonians conserving the number of excitations. The same transformation must
be used to obtain effective observables. The analysis of the structure shows
that effective operators give rise to a simple and intuitive perspective on the
initial problem. The systematic calculation of n-particle irreducible
quantities becomes possible constituting a significant progress. Details how to
implement the approach perturbatively for a large class of systems are
presented.Comment: 12 pages, 1 figure, accepted by J. Phys. A: Math. Ge
Free energy for parameterized Polyakov loops in SU(2) and SU(3) lattice gauge theory
We present a study of the free energy of parameterized Polyakov loops P in
SU(2) and SU(3) lattice gauge theory as a function of the parameters that
characterize P. We explore temperatures below and above the deconfinement
transition, and for our highest temperatures T > 5 T_c we compare the free
energy to perturbative results.Comment: Minor changes. Final version to appear in JHE
Binary reaction decays from 24Mg+12C
Charged particle and gamma decays in 24Mg* are investigated for excitation
energies where quasimolecular resonances appear in 12C+12C collisions. Various
theoretical predictions for the occurence of superdeformed and hyperdeformed
bands associated with resonance structures with low spin are discussed within
the measured 24Mg* excitation energy region. The inverse kinematics reaction
24Mg+12C is studied at E_lab(24Mg) = 130 MeV, an energy which enables the
population of 24Mg states decaying into 12C+12C resonant break-up states.
Exclusive data were collected with the Binary Reaction Spectrometer in
coincidence with EUROBALL IV installed at the VIVITRON Tandem facility at
Strasbourg. Specific structures with large deformation were selectively
populated in binary reactions and their associated gamma decays studied.
Coincident events associated with inelastic and alpha-transfer channels have
been selected by choosing the excitation energy or the entry point via the
two-body Q-values. The analysis of the binary reaction channels is presented
with a particular emphasis on 24Mg-gamma, 20Ne-gamma and 16O-gamma
coincidences. New information (spin and branching ratios) is deduced on
high-energy states in 24Mg and 16O, respectively.Comment: 27 pages, 8 figures, 1 tabl

A sufficient criterion for integrability of stochastic many-body dynamics and quantum spin chains
We propose a dynamical matrix product ansatz describing the stochastic
dynamics of two species of particles with excluded-volume interaction and the
quantum mechanics of the associated quantum spin chains respectively. Analyzing
consistency of the time-dependent algebra which is obtained from the action of
the corresponding Markov generator, we obtain sufficient conditions on the
hopping rates for identifing the integrable models. From the dynamical algebra
we construct the quadratic algebra of Zamolodchikov type, associativity of
which is a Yang Baxter equation. The Bethe ansatz equations for the spectra are
obtained directly from the dynamical matrix product ansatz.Comment: 19 pages Late
Clusters in Light Nuclei
A great deal of research work has been undertaken in the alpha-clustering
study since the pioneering discovery, half a century ago, of 12C+12C molecular
resonances. Our knowledge of the field of the physics of nuclear molecules has
increased considerably and nuclear clustering remains one of the most fruitful
domains of nuclear physics, facing some of the greatest challenges and
opportunities in the years ahead. In this work, the occurence of "exotic"
shapes in light N=Z alpha-like nuclei is investigated. Various approaches of
superdeformed and hyperdeformed bands associated with quasimolecular resonant
structures are presented. Results on clustering aspects are also discussed for
light neutron-rich Oxygen isotopes.Comment: 12 pages, 5 figures. Invited Talk presented by C. Beck at the
